    I'm just learning the develop FB apps. I uploaded the Facebook libraries to my server as instructed, set up my config.php file, and made a very basic index.php file. When I attempt to access the index.php file, I get this error:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /homepages/16/d244193075/htdocs/FB/php/facebook.php on line 38


    Anyone encountered this error before and can guide me the right direction? Thanks.:confused:

    You're gonna have to post your code. Seems like a silly error that can easily be fixed, though.

    Your probably using the PHP 5 API on a PHP 4 server, you have to use the correct version for it to work, you will get more direct answers from the FB developer forum.

    Seems like you have an extra curly bracket somewhere, post some code here and we'll see...

    Correct. Thanks everyone for the help. The problem was that my server automatically designated all .php files to PHP 4. I modified by .htaccess to change it to PHP 5 and it all worked. Thanks again!
